cram AND orennnrrn nonnnra Application filed October 29, 1927. Serial No. 229,717.

after set forth, an article of the class referred to for not only supporting a cigar or cigarette in position for smoking it, but also acting as a closed receptacle for the collection of ashes from the cigar or cigarette until the latter is consumed to the desired extent, and further with the holder constructed and arranged in a manner to provide for conveniently discharging therefrom the collected ashes, aswell as for connecting a cigar or cigarette thereto in a position to be smoked.

Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a maner as hereinafter set forth, a cigar or cigarette holder for the purpose referred to which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, compact, thoroughly efficient in its use, conveniently assembled and disassembled for removing ashes therefrom and for placing a cigar or cigarette in position to be smoked, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shownan embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section of a holder in accordance with this invention and with the ash collecting element thereof in open position.

Figure 2 is an elevation of a cigar vor cigarette holder in accordance with this invention and with the .ash collector element closed.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 Figure 1.

Figure 4is a section on line 4-4 Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 Figure 1.

Fi re 6 is a sectional elevation of a modified orm.

Figure 7 is a view looking towards the edge at the mouth end of the holder.

Fi e 8 is an-end view of the holder mom or.

Figure 9 is a fragmentary view, in section and upon an enlarged scale illustrating the threaded connection between the mouth piece and holder member.

In both forms shown, the mouthpiece of the holder is of the same construction and it consists of a tubular body portion 1 formed of a tapered part 2 and a cylindrical part 3 having projecting therefrom an interiorly threaded annular collar 4. The cylindrical part 3 is of greater thickness than the collar 4 and the inner face of the latter is offset with respect to the inner face of the part 3 thereby providing a shoulder 5. Formed war ly therefrom is a tapered mouth part 6 of oval cross section. The part 6 is tubular and provides a tapered air passage 7, a' socket 8 which opens into the passage 7 and a contracted slot 9 which forms an outlet for the smoke. The part 6 at its point of joinder with the part 2 is provided with a pair of spaced rectangular slots 10, 11 forming air intakes and which open into an air conducting channel 12 common to said slots 10, 11 and said channel 12 opens at its rear end, as at 13 into the rear end of the passage 7. The part 2 forms a continuation of the passage 7 and such continuation is indicated at 14. The inner face of the part 3 is provided with square threads 15.

The holder member in both forms is of like construction and which is adapted to receive the mouth portion or end 16 of a cigar or cigarette 17 and the latter projects forwardly from the holder member. The holder member comprisesa sleeve 18 of appropriate length having a tubular tapered extension 19 at its rear end which terminates in a smoke conducting tube 20 extending integral with the part 2 and extending rearthrough the passage/Z and seated in the socket 8 and openin into the slot 9. The tapered extension 19 is spaced from the part 2 of the body portion 1 and the tube 20 is spaced a substantial distance from the wall of the passage 7. When the cigar or cigarette 17 is connected to the holder member it extends through the sleeve 18 and into thetapered extension 19 The periphery of the sleeve 18 at the rear thereof is formed with square threads 21 which engage with the square threads 15 for thepurpose of connecting the holder member to the mouth piece. The square threads 15 and 21 provide a channel or passage 21 to rmit of the passage of air from the continuation 14 to forwardly of the said threads. The nonthreaded part of the sleeve 18 is spaced a substantial distance from the collar 4. The inner face of the sleeve 18 is polygonal as at 18. i

The ash collector shown in Figure 1 is of a different construction than that shown in Figure 6 and referring to Figure 1 the ash collector is referred to generally at 22 and is formed of two sections 23, 24. The section 24 is of less length than the section 23 and the latter at its inner end is formed with a peripherally threaded collar 25 of less thickness than the thickness of the remaining part of the section 23. The collar 25 is adapted to engage with the interiorly threaded collar 4 thereby connecting the collector to the mouth piece 1. The collar25, when the collector 22 is connected to the mouth piece 1, abuts the shoulder 5. The section 24 is open at its inner end and closed at its outer end and is of semi-circular cross section. That part of the section 23 which projects from the collar 25 is constructed in the same manner as the section 24, that is to say is closed at its outerend and of semicircular cross section. The section 23, has that part thereof .which projects from the collar 25 of the same length as the section 24. The sections 23 and 24.are adapted to be latched together to provide a tubular collector and with the inner diameter of the latter such as to space the inner face of the collector a substantial distance from the cigar or cigarette 17. When the sections 23 and 24 are secured together, the section 24 abuts against that part of the collar 25 which opposes the inner end of the section 24. The sections 23 and 24 are hinged together as at 26 and said sections have co actin means, as indicated at 27, 28 for latching them to to provide the tu ular collector. When the section 24 is unlatched from the section 23 the collected ashes within the collector can be conveniently discharged therefrom. The collector is of greater length than the cigar or cigarette so as to project therefrom.

The collector shown in Figure 6is indiether in abutting relation cated generally at 29 and consists of a tubular body portion having a closed outer end and an open inner end and with the inner end of the collector 29 reduced as indicated at 30 and provided with peripheral threads for engagement with the threads of the col lar 4. When the collector 29 is secured to the mouth piece 1 it abuts against the shoulder 5. The collector 29 can be unscrewed from the mouthpiece l and the ashes collected thereby discharged therefrom, The collector 29 is to be of greater length than the length of the cigar or cigarette.

What -I claim is:

1. A cigar or cigarette holder com rising a tubular mouthpiece having a smo e outlet, a holder member for suspending a cigar or cigarette lengthwise, said member ar ranged in and connected to the mouthpiece and formed with a smoke conductin tube having one end anchored in the mout piece and opening into said outlet, said mouthpiece forming an air passage and formed with intakes communicating with said passa e, and a tubular closed ash receptacle detac ably connected to the mouthpiece for enclosing in spaced relation the cigar or cigarette suspended by said member.

2. A cigar or cigarette holder com rising a tubular mouthpiece having a smo e outlet, a holder member for suspending a cigar or cigarette lengthwise, said member arranged in'and connected to the mouthpiece and formed with a smoke conductin tube having one end anchored in the mout piece and opening into said outlet, said mouthpiece forming an air passage and formed with intakes communicating with said passage, a tubular closed ash receptacle detachably connected to the mouthpiece for enclosing in spaced relation the cigar or cigarette suspended by said member, said receptacle formed of a pair of hinged sections detachably connected together in abutting relation. h In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature ereto.
